Rosa Daniela Diaz is a multidisciplinary artist living in the Southern Tablelands of N.S.W.
Diaz honours matrilineal histories and her Uruguayan cultural heritage, celebrating women, ancient textile methodologies and contemporary craft, through care, reparative practices and a feminist lens. She adapts various weaving techniques to create emotive textile-based sculptures and installation, alongside a drawing and collage practice.
Diaz repurposes found, aged and gifted materials, having preference for materials with history and that carry personal memories, exploring its process of transformation as a metaphor for ancestral healing.
